Lyrics
Yakko (spoken):
You see...
Yakko:
Taxis are Ubers, the stars are YouTubers, Neil Tyson gave Pluto the axe.
Cellphones got smarter, the oceans got hotter, the global economy collapsed.
We get internet deals on our hyphenate meals like cage-free vegan-paleo sausage.
We don't leave our homes thanks to Amazon drones. They track what we do through our watches.
The Warners:
What's going on? Will we be okay? Has it all gone mad since we went away?
Oh, update us please and put us at ease 'cause we've run out of jokes... about the 90s.
(Bill Clinton plays the theme to Friends on the sax)
Yakko:
Al Gore lost bad 'cause of one hanging chad, Dubya hunted for Dubya-Em-Dees.
Obama brought hope so Clinton thought dope,
"Dope! 2016 should be a real breeze
Dot:
So Hillary finally broke that glass ceiling?
Yakko:
No, but it certainly does feel like it's raining shards of glass all around us.
Yakko:
The country's cut into two, the red and the blue, Facebook's a toxic waste dump.
The Fox Friends are doting, the Russians are voting, and now there's a President Trump
Yakko:
At least we think there's still a President Trump. You see, the writers are writing this in 2018.
Wakko:
How is that possible? The people rely on Animaniacs for outrageous and relevant content!
Dot:
Well, how can we finish catching up if we don't know what happened in the last two years?
Yakko:
I dunno, wild guesses?
Dot:
Sounds good to me!
Yakko:
We have chips in our brains, we no longer feel pain, there are worsening climate disasters.
Now we live underground, and we can't make a sound lest we anger our polar bear masters.
Wakko:
They've come south for revenge!
Dot:
We breed birds without arms on our factory farms, and we live in aluminum bunkers.
We sent humans to Mars, all the food comes in bars and the top-rated show is called Clunkers!
Wakko:
It's about a talking police car!
Yakko:
Who's also a time machine!
Dot:
Wow! here comes the star, Clunko!
Clunko:
I travel through time, solving crime!
The Warners:
That's what's going on in the world today, it's as crazy now, as when we went away.
Our ratings depend on knowing the trends...
We're all caught up, that's how this song ends.
